Miso Banana Bread
This banana bread pulls out "all the stops" with Mascarpone, dark brown sugar, sweet white miso, and an additional sugary buttered topping! It is decadent, moist, and has just the right level of sweetness to pass for breakfast, snack, or dessert when served warm with vanilla ice cream. The unusual addition of sweet white miso adds extra moisture and flavor that becomes its secret ingredient.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 cup dark brown sugar plus 2 tablespoons
- ½ cup Mascarpone
- ¼ cup sweet white miso
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature plus 2 tablespoons
- 2 eggs
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- Mascarpone or warm butter for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 9X13 inch loaf pan.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the 1 cup brown sugar, Mascarpone, white miso, and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time on a low speed.
- Take the mixture out of the mixer and hand fold in the bananas.
- In batches, hand fold in the flour mixture as well.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining two tablespoons brown sugar with the two tablespoons butter until you form a soft paste.
- Dollop this mixture on top of the bread.
- Bake the bread until the top is golden brown, and when you insert a knife, toothpick, or cake tester, it comes out clean, around 50-60 minutes.
